FOUR ERAS

Layers of Time Within One House

Within one house are four layers of time.

Move freely through the house and spend your stay quietly moving from one era to another.

EDO 1603-1868

江戸

Low to the floor. Tatami. Stillness.
Sit on the tatami and lay out the futon.
With light filtering through the shoji screens, this is a time for quiet rather than for doing.

TAISHO 1912-1926

大正

The Taisho room with a lamp and a dressing table

Japanese and Western styles meet, with a quiet sense of the wider world.
Sit at the desk and make a cup of coffee.
In a room with lamplight and a dressing table, this is a time when Western influences begin to mingle with Japanese ways of living.

SHOWA 1926-1989

昭和

The Showa room with chrysanthemum-patterned sliding doors and posters
The Showa room with a tea cabinet and a guitar
A radio cassette player and old posters

Family, playfulness, and a touch of nostalgia.
Relax on the tatami and gather in one room with family or friends.
Surrounded by chrysanthemum-patterned sliding doors and objects from years past, this is a slightly lively and somehow nostalgic time.

REIWA 2019-

令和

The fully equipped Reiwa kitchen

A coffee maker and mugs

Settle in. Return. Be here now.
A place to share a meal, look over the days ahead, and settle into your stay.
After moving through times past, this is where you settle back into the present.
